Latin / Greek Original
XLIV. Scr. Romae a.u.c. 699 (eodem die, quo ep. LXXIV ). CICERO GALLIO SAL.
Etsi ex tuis et ex L. Oppii, familiarissimi mei , litteris cognovi te memorem commendationis meae fuisse idque pro tua summa erga me benevolentia proque nostra necessitudine minime sum admiratus, tamen etiam atque etiam tibi L. Oppium praesentem et L. Egnatii, mei familiarissimi, absentis negotia commendo. Tanta mihi cum eo necessitudo est familiaritasque, ut, si mea res esset, non magis laborarem; quapropter gratissimum mihi feceris, si curaris, ut is intelligat me a te tantum amari, quantum ipse existimo: hoc mihi gratius facere nihil potes, idque ut facias vehementer te rogo.
